Thanks, and thanks for the link. I was kinda in a hurry when I wrote that.

Inner Prop, what does 'select 0 for the KB's' mean?

From your avatar and name, I guess you're a rugby enthusiast. I played loosehead prop in graduate school. I'm not sure what an 'inner' prop is though.

I think he means no data plan...

I played second row throughout college and post-college until I hurt my knee. Rugby players and geeks unite!

Yeah, same thing I understood. No data plan. That for a smartphone, is beginning to turn into a coveted option.

Yes, no data plan.

Inner Prop is like your inner child, only more violent. I played Lock in college and then moved to Flanker when they finally got someone taller than me that could out jump me (I'm only 6' and back then you could not lift).

After college I joined a Men's club. When they asked me what position I played and I said, "Lock" they said, "Right, Prop, go over there by those guys."

I love Prop though.

Lately I've been listed at my club as a Prop, but play almost exclusively as a lifting Lock.

QF, didn't you hurt your knee just last year?

Yes, no data plan.

Just 6'... As I am just 5'-3", I am the one that can ad a just to the self height OK, if you appended your height with a just, I imagine the size of the tall guys

I reckon it's the same injury, only resurfacing after a bunch of moons. Hurt knees never heal. You just find the way to live with it. I hurt my knees 18 years ago, and to the day, when I have to lift something heavy, I gotta keep aware of both knees.

I thought it was Joe who had to watch out for the two neices.

Yes, no data plan.

Just be very cautious when you are first using the phone. Make sure, whenever possible, apps are set to use wifi and not data. In fact, you should ask if Verizon can actually block data on your account (that won't affect wifi). If you make a mistake and end up using data when you thought you were using wifi, it will be an expensive mistake.

I'm sure you know all this.

Oh, pretty valuable post, Pirate. Yes, for devices that can connect through more than one option, it's the user who must select and/or deselect connections. Yes, be careful.

Actually, Verizon has done me a "favor" and disabled the WiFi on their version of this phone. No fear of accidentally thinking I'm using WiFi and not (I was actually going to ask around here and see if a. the equipment is still in there for WiFi, and b. if anyone knew how to turn it on).

Also, I not only blocked data on my entire plan, I locked, bolted, hired a guard and a dog. My teenage daughter made that a requirement.

So, no fears (anymore).

Good advice though.
